Su Jin, under the leadership of Chen Anbao, soon came to a place about two kilometers west of Xinlong Airport, at this time he was lying behind a small dirt slope, just in time to see a group of soldiers in blue military uniforms attacking the airport in the distance, but was stubbornly blocked by the airport.

At the same time, Su Jin observed that the Japanese army had built a relatively complete defense system around Xinlong Airport. Although it was only a few civil fortifications, there were well-established trenches, plenty of machine-gun bunkers, and even some rapid-fire guns and infantry guns, which were now being violently sprayed at the attacking soldiers. On the other hand, on the attacking side, not to mention mountain artillery, field artillery and other support and suppression artillery, the firepower that can provide cover for them is only a dozen or so heavy machine guns, and the support that such a thin firepower can provide is extremely limited.

Su Jin immediately became anxious when he saw such a situation, and said loudly to Chen Anbao: "Chief Chen, you can't fight like this, this is fighting with the lives of your brothers!" ”

Chen Anbao showed a look of shame and helplessness on his face: "Brigade Commander Su, you think like this, but we have nothing, what can I do if I don't take my brother's life." ”

Looking at the unconcealed sadness in Chen Anbao's eyes, Su Jin only felt a twitch in his heart, the 29th Army was born in the Northwest Army, and its weapons and equipment were originally worse than other troops, no matter how bad the equipment of other troops was, at least a division would have a few artillery pieces to decorate the façade, but the more than 20,000 people in the 29th Army did not even have an infantry gun, and many soldiers even fought with Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth with big blades, which has to be said to be the sorrow of a country and a nation.

Su Jin patted Security Chen's arm and said in a deep voice: "Chief Chen, don't say it, hurry up and let the brothers take it down, and leave the rest to us!" ”

After speaking, Su Jin turned around and beckoned to the communication soldier standing behind him, and the communication soldier ran over. Su Jin took the microphone from him. After adjusting the channel, he said loudly: "Bai Hongshan, report your location."

Soon, Bai Hongshan's hoarse voice came from the headset: "Report to the chief...... I'm in Taiping Township now, and I'll be able to reach Nanxinxiang in about half an hour. ”

"Lao Tzu, no matter where you are, I will give you fifteen minutes now, and immediately send an artillery battalion to the southwest of Xinlong Airport two kilometers, and I will wait for you here!" Su Jin's order was very direct.

After a while, Bai Hongshan's voice sounded from the headset: "Chief Su, the two 105 howitzer battalions are still dozens of kilometers away from Xinlong Airport because they support the newly formed 10th Division. Not to mention fifteen minutes, an hour is enough to choke, but because the heavy artillery battalion is following the brigade headquarters and is self-propelled artillery, it can rush over quickly. ”

"Then transfer the heavy artillery battalion...... Be quick, I'll only give you fifteen minutes! After speaking, Su Jin hung up the communication very unreasonably.

Su Jin, who put down the microphone, turned his head to understand that Chen Anbao was looking at himself with some worry, and he smiled and comforted: "Chief Chen, don't worry, we will provide fire support to your department next." The next battle should be easier. ”

Chen Anbao nodded, and he also heard the call just now. Hearing that Su Jin also mentioned the heavy artillery battalion on the phone, although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it too seriously. For an old-style officer like Chen Baoguo who came out of the Baoding Military Academy, a 105-mm caliber gun can be called a heavy artillery, and in his opinion, an artillery battalion should have at least five or six guns. With the support of artillery, they must have been able to sacrifice a lot of brothers, and when he thought of this, he had a good impression of the enthusiastic young man next to him.

As the two spoke, the troops that had been attacking the airfield began to retreat. After the Japanese troops near the airport saw that the Nationalist troops began to retreat, a squadron of Japanese troops rushed out of their positions under the cover of two Type 95 light combat vehicles and launched a counterattack against the retreating Nationalist troops.

"Suppress ...... Hurry up and suppress them! Not far from Su Jin, a colonel, who was estimated to be the commander of the regiment, shouted loudly to the front, and soon more than a dozen machine guns turned their muzzles and fired wildly at the Japanese tanks seven or eight hundred meters away, but it was a pity that the bullets of those 24-type heavy machine guns could only splash out bursts of sparks on the front armor of the tank, and they could not cause damage to the tank at all.

On the other hand, the two Type 95 chariots kept chasing after the retreating Nationalist troops, and the 7.7 caliber machine guns in the depot kept strafing, and many retreating Nationalist soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Su Jin's brows furrowed, this Japanese army was so arrogant that he dared to launch a counterattack with such a small number of troops, and he was so arrogant with two Douding tanks, which shows how hard the 29th Army has fought these days. He turned his head to Bai Qishan, the commander of the guard battalion who had been standing behind him, and said, "Battalion Commander Bai, you immediately send a firepower team, bring all the heavy machine guns and replace them with armor-piercing shells, and knock out the two Iron Kings in front of me!" ”

"Yes!"

Bai Qishan answered, found a second lieutenant, and whispered a few words in his ear, and soon the second lieutenant led dozens of soldiers carrying six M2 Browning heavy machine guns into the position, and after a few minutes the machine guns were set up, and with the second lieutenant's order, the six M2 Browning heavy machine guns rang out in unison.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A low sound like a drum sounded, and several tongues of fire came out, and bullets as thick as thumbs flew towards the two chariots whizzing towards the Japanese army.

The power of the M2 Browning large-caliber machine gun is not comparable to the 24-type machine gun of the Republic of China equipped by the 29th Army, the former is much stronger than the latter in terms of power and penetration, plus the tungsten core armor-piercing bullet they are firing at the moment is still designed and produced to hit armored targets, and the armor of the frontal thickness of the Type 95 tank is no different from paper paste in front of this armor-piercing projectile, and soon the two Type 95 tanks that are frantically strafing the retreating National Army soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest. One of the vehicles was even detonated with ammunition, the vehicle was violently held, and the entire turret was blown into the air.

"Quick...... Immediately change to ordinary ammunition and continue to cover the retreat of the brothers in front! The second lieutenant in charge of the command saw that the two Japanese tanks were destroyed, and he did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately gave the order to reload, after all, the cost of armor-piercing bullets is several times that of ordinary bullets, and it is too wasteful to use them to fight infantry.

At the same time, at one of the Japanese positions, the commander of the garrison at the airport, Yuto Takahashi, saw that the two tanks that had attacked were blown up on the spot in an instant, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and raised the telescope again, it was still true, the burning thing in front of him was the wreckage of the Type 95 chariot, and the other one was beaten into a sieve, and the other party suddenly had several more firepower points, and the fierce fire hit the pursuing infantry on his side unable to raise their heads, and soldiers were constantly killed and wounded.

"What the hell is going on, what kind of machine gun is it, and how can it be so powerful?" Takahashi watched it for a while in horror, and then he was furious, in his opinion, the other party dared to destroy his two chariots, which was really an act of rebellion to challenge the majesty of the imperial army.

In a fit of rage, he immediately called the commander of the artillery brigade and pointed to the front and ordered: "Kawaguchi-kun, you immediately order to hit the cannon fodder and destroy the firing points of those branches!" ”

"Hay!"

Soon, two Type 92 infantry guns and three 37-caliber rapid-fire guns immediately opened fire.

"Boom ......"

A missed stray bullet exploded near Su Jin and Chen Anbao, and the dust in the sky rose to the sky, and several small gravel flew into Su Jin's face, causing pain.

Su Jin frowned, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, seeing that the prescribed fifteen minutes had passed, Su Jin's brows slowly furrowed, and those who were familiar with him knew that this was a precursor to this guy preparing to get angry.

At this moment, there was a roar of engines in the distance, and Su Jin looked back and saw a long convoy slowly approaching from a distance.

Seeing the convoy, Su Jin's originally unhappy expression began to calm down, and this heavy artillery battalion finally arrived. He smiled at Chen Anbao on the side and said, "Sir Chen, let's go...... Let's go see the heavy artillery. ”

"Okay!" Chen Anbao still smiled innocently.

A few minutes later, when Su Jin led Chen Anbao to the side of the convoy, Chen Anbao and the staff officers and officers of the 29th Army behind him were already a little sluggish, and the convoy was led by a long line of self-propelled guns with armored turf, the black muzzles of the guns went straight into the sky, and the huge cannon body looked full of the power to destroy everything.

Soon, a major jumped down from the self-propelled gun, strode up to Su Jin, saluted and said loudly: "Report to the brigade seat, Zhang Shaojie, the commander of the heavy artillery battalion of the artillery regiment, was ordered to come to report, please give the commander instructions!" ”

Su Jin replied with a salute and said, "Very good, Battalion Commander Zhang, now you immediately command the troops to expand the formation, and I will only give you ten minutes." ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Shaojie responded very simply, then picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it vigorously, under his command, more than 20 self-propelled guns began to spread out in formation in the open space, and each self-propelled gun was followed by two ammunition trucks.

Looking at the mighty and huge self-propelled guns that were unfolding the formation, Chen Anbao and the others had already looked at it, and a staff officer couldn't help but murmur: "Ediniang, such a big cannon, you can't blow up a big hole like a pond when you go down." (To be continued.) )
